About the Role
Join one of Australia's leading financial institutions as a Senior Python Developer (Automation). This is a coding-heavy role (70–80% Python) where you'll build automation frameworks that integrate systems, interact with APIs, and transform data.
Your work will then be deployed via Ansible (AAP/AWX), supporting major projects such as the F5 refresh and migration from open-source Ansible to enterprise AAP. If you're a Python developer who enjoys solving complex integration challenges and building automation from scratch, this role offers the perfect environment to excel.
What you'll be doing
* Developing Python applications and scripts for automation (beyond basic scripting).
* Building automation that interacts with APIs to integrate systems and transform data.
* Designing and implementing new automation frameworks (not just maintaining existing ones).
* Deploying automation using Ansible — including writing playbooks and developing custom modules/plugins from scratch in Python.
* Working with databases (MongoDB preferred, SQL/Postgres acceptable) to query and manage data as part of automation workflows.
* Collaborating closely with network engineers, platform teams, and the Rapid Response Team (RRT).
What we're looking for
* 3–5 years of Python development experience — strong software development skills (not just scripting).
* Experience building automation that integrates with REST APIs.
* Hands-on with databases (MongoDB ideal, but other databases acceptable).
* Strong experience with Ansible — must be able to develop custom modules and plugins from scratch.
* Familiarity with Git and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bamboo).
* Exposure to Terraform or Kubernetes/OpenShift is nice-to-have, but not essential.
* A proactive, builder mindset — someone who develops automation frameworks, not just consumes them.
Why apply?
* Be part of a Tier-1 technology team driving automation at scale.
* Work on high-impact projects (F5 refresh + Security Migration to AAP).
* Collaborate with forward-thinking engineers who value innovation.
* Flexible hybrid working, with 1 day per week onsite in Kogarah.
* Eligibility: Candidates must hold Australian PR or Citizenship.
